Getting Ready for the Coming Wild Economic Ride – Part 2
In part one, we just finished talking about reducing your material footprint, so that you start to wean yourself from the “luxury must-haves” that you consume now. This also goes for any vices you have. The sudden withdrawal from nicotine, alcohol and caffeine will change your behavior. The more vices you have, the more difficult you’ll have in coping without them. Start weaning yourself off them now. After the balloon pops on this economic bubble we’re in, common daily items are going to disappear fast, and after that, they’ll be in short supply. Look at any country that has gone … Continue reading

Getting Ready for the Coming Wild Economic Ride – Part 1
Undoubtedly, you’ve seen the recent shakeup in the news on how the Fed is thinking about tightening up the free money they’ve been handing out to bankers. The purpose of all this printed money, we were told, was to give the economy time to heal itself and thus avoid an economic collapse. Trillions of dollars were given to Wall Streeters and bankers, yet we have little to show for it. The media has long ignored the fact that this injection of money hasn’t accomplished anything but keep friends of the Fed in a constant supply of cash. This is, of … Continue reading
Episode 144 – What Can We Expect Going Forward After The Election
Now that the election is over, we need to move past the red and blue teams and take a realistic look at where we’re headed. As I’ve mentioned before, it doesn’t matter who’s in charge, we’re still going to go over that financial cliff; and we need to be prepared for that. As I’ve mentioned several times, I don’t get into politics very often on the podcast because being prepared is non-political, as well as non-religious. However, I think too many people have been assuming that things were going to be different after the election. … Continue reading
Episode 139 – FAQ For Hyperinflation Skeptics with Vincent Cate Part 2
This is part 2 of my discussion with Vincent Cate about his FAQ on Hyperinflation for Skeptics. This is one of the best FAQs I’ve seen on hyperinflation, as it dispenses with the big words that economists like to use in order to keep the public confused and befuddled about what’s happening in the economy. Part one of this interview can be found here: Episode 138 FAQ For Hyperinflation Skeptics with Vincent Cate. You can also check out his other website: http://gold.ai. This podcast was sponsored by:

Episode 137 – Current Events for the Week of October 14, 2012
Before I go over the current events and news for this week, I want to mention that just because I have a link to a website, that it in no way means that I endorse the political views or any of the opinions on that website. I simply pull the information out where the information exists. Sometimes this means that it might be on a pro-democrat site, or a pro-republican site, or a pro-libertarian site, or a pro-nobody-throw-all-the-bums-out website. Look past that, as I’m not trying to send any hidden messages. In fact, we don’t … Continue reading

QE3 to Infinity – What Does It Mean?
What Was The QE3 Announcement - What Does It Mean? Here is what the Fed announced: The central bank will buy $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities a month, and is willing to take more action if the labor market doesn’t improve, its policy-setting committee said. The Fed also extended an existing stimulus effort known as Operation Twist, under which the central bank has been selling short-term bonds and using the proceeds to buy longer-term bonds in an effort to bring down long-term rates. Officials also said they expect to keep short-term interest rates near zero until at least mid-2015, past the … Continue reading

QE3: Get Ready For Hyperinflation!
Here’s a recipe for disaster: “ the Fed will keep injecting money into the economy until growth picks up and unemployment starts dropping significantly.” QE1 and QE2 didn’t work, so now we need QE3. You would think that they’d learn, but remember, these are the same people that didn’t see the 2008 Recession coming and said that everything was fine. Until it wasn’t fine. Not to mention, can you point to anyone, besides bankers, that was actually helped by QE1 or 2? Me neither. [From QE3: Reactions to the Feds big stimulus move - ] On Thursday, the Federal Reserve announced yet … Continue reading
